Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

From a developer standpoint, I can affirm this. Android is much easier to develop on, presumably because Android doesn't lock down as much functionality as iOS. Neither is "right" or "wrong," they just have different philosophies.

Oh, and Android has a much lower barrier to entry to begin development. Apple charges significantly more to publish apps, and you can't really develop iOS apps without an Apple device. Not a big deal for the big players, but indie projects have a harder time.
